Russia was never concerned about the EU. It isn't a military alliance.

Russia is concerned about NATO because conflict with it will lead to ruination of itself and also NATO. Ukraine joining NATO (or even intending to do so) was always a redline.

Yea I know that,what iam trying to say is that eu and nato understands and will respect these red lines because they know the impact just like they are feeling the heat now. They would have lured ukraine into eu or accepted them into nato because of their strategic importance if they weren't ready to respect the red line.

mach7:
You don't call a clear and present danger a trap. Ukraine is at Russia's back and very close to its Industrial and Agricultural Heartland. Allowing to either join NATO or remain hostile is pure suicide.

Russia HAD to act.

EU was never going to accept Ukraine into it's fold,if they really wanted they would have admitted Ukraine into eu considering the fact that they will be more useful to them than most eastern blocks they are in eu already. They understand that Ukraine n Russia can't be separated without chaos and they are not ready to risk that but Putin became overzealous since his stooge lost the presidential election. EU didn't react when they took crimea and supported the rebels that ravaged part of Ukraine. Pootin was just stupid!!!

AroleOduduwa2:
They were successful in utilizing Ukraine, but their attempt to weaken Russia failed spectacularly. Russia's economy is doing really well; keep in mind that Russia just imports components; they have food and oil. The West continues to buy from Russia and relies on Russia far more than Russia relies on them..

My brother the economy is not doing well, iam not in Russia now but I have been in contact with people that left Russia of recent. Europe with no ban is feeling the heat of the war seriously, prices are 30 to 40% high right now,last 3months there was no cooking oil from Germany to Austria,Belgium and Netherlands. Mind you Russia imports most of what they use, from the technology they used in building their acclaimed weapons to harnessing their oil,motor parts, airline and what have you. Atleast I have been there a couple of time and see their shelves. The problem that pootin had was that his lieutenants lied to him about going to war in other to be in his good books but the response was too shocking for him. Iam not taking sides though but just the reality on ground. Iam loosing also in this whole madness.

abobote:
This Ohanaeze talks too much this days, whilst they don't have a stand

They are group of unarmed robbers.

AroleOduduwa2:
Ukraine will be abandoned. The objective of NATO have been achived. The need the swedes and Finnish so badly.

Was part of it and weakening russia also. Was an apparent trap 4 pootin.

okeysoninv:
many member of NATO are not committed to the pacts..if I were Biden will just withdraw USA from NATO. the alliance is rubbish..

That's what trump was against, eu and hypocrisy is related.

Nice move, Lagos state government should copy. In Dubai, you can hang your clothes on balcony or window, you should get a dryer with your washing machine, this banning of roadside selling, they've done this several years ago. But, it's cool, we are moving forward gradually too.

In Europe you can hang your clothes on balcony is your right.

PERVENCHE:
I dey tell you!
These westerners are pure smart evil. They are playing this war like a chess game. 'Poo'thing (mind the pun) said he attacked Ukraine because he wants less nato close to his boarders. What has he gotten instead? More NATO circling his Russia; Currently, five partner countries have declared their aspirations to NATO membership: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Georgia, Sweden and ...Oga...Ukraine. majority of these guys are stone throw neigbours with Russia. Article 10 was asleep until poo'thing invaded and the way it is going...Taiwan may soon join NATO (that was on a lighter note)

Back to the chess game analysis,
Yes! Poo'thing is winning the fight but is losing the war. Donbas region is the soldiers west is willing to sacrifice in order to trap the queen. Moscow and st Pittsburg.

West is truly the definition of evil
Smart evil in the true sense of the word

This is what happens when you are a dictator,people around you will keep lying to you so as to be in your good book that is exactly what happened with putin, his Intel's didn't do a good job and they deceived him into believing it's a walk over war for them.

I love the standard lagos sets.we have the worst set of politicians in Nigeria in the #SE$,apart from Sullivan who was outstanding,others are just dumb asses.

realstars:
Cold world war three is 'ticking foward.

It's no longer cold,the war is hot already. Initially I was thinking putin was smart but he disappointed me falling into this obvious trap. Russia will never be the same.

Maxymilliano:
Obviously the ref was waiting for the home team to score wining before blowing the final whistle

The referee wanted to go home with his head on his neck.

Cloud007:
I guessed he waited for odilli to leave before tendering his resignation.

Well...Ariwoola will do just fine too

The fear of odili is the beginning of wisdom for some abokis.

Imagine Fulani herdsmen writing thrash on nairaland.

You lots should stop be stupid. All you do is deny and acts like Dundee.

Emu4life:
If they can, they would have done it. You forgot Iran's got anti-missile systems (Both foreign and domestic) too?
The highest Israel can do is disguise and Sabotage (Just like they've been doing) but unfortunately for them, it does have little effect on Iran's program. Infact, they've been assassinating top Iranian Nuclear scientists but Iran doesn't only have Nuclear program, they Nuclear institutes where nuclear scientists are being churned out frequently.
The only thing stopping Iran from producing a Nuclear weapon is that they are using it as bargaining chip to lift economic sanctions and the US is aware.

Well in the past israel have succeeded in bombing some of their nuclear sites and if their is need 4 that now they will soon.

sunboy:
I hope the US would let Isreal handle its own problems on its own.

Israel is upto date. If the need arises believe they can protect themselves.

Emu4life:
Sanctions or no Sanctions, Iran seems to be ahead of US and Israel in their quest for Nuclear Program.
The Sanctions have made Iran to improve it's domestic capabilities. They now produce warships, drones and missiles. Israel's worst nightmare is happening right before their eyes.

You will receive israel missile alert in one of those enrichment sites soon.

timesup234:
It is a shame the world will remain in a brainwashed stage in another 20yrs. Iran has every right to develop nuclear weapon. Israel is the real terrorist in the middle east. Israel has no right to exist. Zionism is the cause of all the problems in our world today. Israel must seize to exist

Israel na headslammers nightmare. Na them fit una. Na God send them to put una 4 check.

Bury Eminem. Bro Do you Know that MGK is no longer a rapper anymore and he is now into Rock music.

Eminem buried him in Killshot. Rap Devil was a surface rap while Killshot intelligently and scathingly attacked MGK, P Diddy, Iggy Azaela and everything related with MGK. Eminem told him that one call to interscope and he will make him swayze. Swayze actually is a movie in which the main character disappeared from existence as a ghost. You know what, Eminem went on to fulfill his promise. MGK rap career ended. He later stated that the diss was bad business for him. He is now into rock

Eminem is not who to pick and at 49 he is really still good
He buried Ja rule career, buried MGK, Buried Nick Cannon (was that guy even a rapper) and gave the world 5O cent, Kendrick Lamar, Jon Bellion and lots more.

however to be honest, Eminem is done for now. he should retire. at least he tried. it is because of him the word "Stan" is now in the English dictionary courtsey of his song Stan 2000.

He also hols the record for the fastest, second Fastest, and third fastest rap in history; Godzilla, Majesty and Rap God respectively.

You just schooled him, I guess he is not in the know how when it comes to rap game. The only setback eminem had was the fact he was white and had some troubled childhood aside that the dude overpaid his dues.

SuperNova33:
Hahahhahaha

Oro buruku pelu erin

E just dey start, the sooner they intensify the clampdown on the bandits the better

If they are hiding in the forest ok cool that means they are confined to the forest and only come into the society to victimize people that right there is a weak link to exploit. Another weak link is the fact that people are hungry thanks to bad government..

But you can set up a hot line to help people snitch for a reward you will be shocked how many people know or have a bandit in their family.

Silent snitching and when you find any guilty give them the full dose of thier medicine.

Government you have money so secure drones the same ones the USA used to do surveillance on the Taliban and keep them in the air even if you have 50 in the air on a 12 hour shift if possible.

Humans are creatures of habit and these bandits even tho they are sub human, they still can pass for humans and they too have habit

Trace them study them and neutralize them don't ever try to rehabilitate them. It's a waste of time.

most of the bokoharam you rehabilitated are bandits, it is easy money.

So strike the with the right hand of God!!!!

The govt knows about all this.

This local man with his local signatures and mimi buildings,can't you copy from umahi

RobbStark:
Nah!
Proudly Ijaw.
Ibos are great people but you lot online, are not helping matters.

I don't even bear Ibo name, I wonder how I am Ibo by you.

Just becos some persons speak Ibo doesn't make them Ibo.

I speak akwa ibom too if you must know

Seriously I dont buy the idea of ipob coersing people that argue that they are not igbo despite the fact they speak the igbo language but at the same time you should know that language is the surest way of knowing your root and it's the strongest culture that hardly disappears from generation to generation so I wonder how one will speak igbo and bear igbo names and will still say he or she is not igbo.

When you see the Southern governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets & their hate doped retards on social media especially those from the Niger Delta talk about restructuring & resource control, you will think they genuinely love Nigeria & their region.
Sure No!
What they want is more money, more power & more control over the money without no one querying them.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that swallowed the 6 trillion naira in NDDC over the past 18 years meant to develop the Niger Delta in addition to squandering trillions of naira & billions of dollars that accrued to Niger Delta from federal statutory allocations, 13% derivation funds, ecological funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds, taxes, royalties rents etc with only poverty, deprivation & backwardness to show for it every 4 years are the same governors, politicians, elders, elites, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that will manage a restructured Niger Delta controlling all the resources there.
If they truly want restructuring, they would have welcomed & implemented by now Buhari's executive orders granting financial autonomy to local governments, state houses of assembly & state judiciaries instead of rejecting it & going to court to challenge the orders.
Those that are fighting for restructuring don't want independent local governments, state houses of assemby & state judiciaries because these are arms & organs of government, that if truly independent, will effectively check the excesses of the state governors & those embezzling the resources of the states in the region.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that want resource control are not ready to invest the billions of naira & dollars they stole from Nigeria & Niger Delta in prospecting for oil & building the massive oil infrastructures required to explore, manage, store & transport crude oil & gas.
That's why at the expiration of the oil leases held by some Nigerians & foreign companies, Buhari refused to renew them but rather passed the opportunity to own them to states so that they can control the resources & use the huge profits to better the lot of citizens of their states.
Many states in the Niger Delta & their governors, politicians, elites, elders, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets rejected the opportunity because it involves huge investments & rather opted to sell this opportunity of thier states owning these oil blocks to private individuals & firms for immediate cash from 10% commisions, kickbacks & convenient taxes.
They don't want the restructuring & resources control that will give the states more responsibilities, that will benefit their people or promote transparency, growth & development in their region. What they want is the restructuring that will give them more powers, more control & more money to squander.
That's why they talk about devolution of powers to states that will allow the governors absolute powers to make decisions on a lot more wide range of portfolios presently under the purview of the federal government.
That's why they are appropriating to themselves through their zombified state assemblies the powers to collect all taxes in their states including VAT.
That's why they are rejecting financial autonomy to local governments, state assemblies & state judiciary so that they can have the additional local government billions of naira to squander, pass any selfish law they want & obtain any court order they want against their opponents while eliminating scrutiny from the same institutions constitutionally empowered to query & sanction them.
That's why they are bent on having state police to intimidate, brutalize & put away any opponent or dissenting voice.
Sadly, the citizens of these states have their brains & minds so wickedly twisted by the ethno-religious hate opium they are doped daily & can no more comprehend who their enemies are.
A pathetic shame indeed!!

Better than spending it on almajiris,boko haram,your reverence bandits and all that represented backward up north.

here comes the personal attack.. Bravo
During Trump administration, they had what was termed "Trade war" which the resolved still under the Trump administration before CoViD-19. Tariffs on Chinese imports was made to desuede American companies from moving to Chinese which the present administration still continues. So many companies get into the Department of State Entity list everytime, not just Chinese.
Mr International politics and diplomacy, Chinese economic growth has been on an increase YoY except during CoViD-19.
But thanks for trying though. it means a lot

China was tamed, that's my point and it was in the news that China's economy slowed down after the tariff was imposed.
